6 Message from the Technical Program Committee
Congratulations on the 20th Anniversary of the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)! On behalf of the Technical Program Committee of the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC) 2015, we would like to welcome all of you to the conference scheduled for January 19 to 22, 2015 at Chiba/Tokyo, Japan. This year ASP- DAC is its 20th Anniversary, and the Technical Program Commit- tee proudly announce the 20th technical program. The Technical Program Committee put a special effort for the Naehyuck Chang TingTing Hwang Yasuhiro Takashima 20th technical program. First, we elaborated on the Call for Pa- pers. We performed major revision in the Subcommittees and formally defined their subtopic categories. The purpose of revision is to help authors select the right Subcommittees for their paper submissions without confusion and minimize paper migrations among Subcommittees after papers are submitted. We migrated Technical Program Committee members instead of the papers while ensuring their expertise so that the submitted papers to be reviewed in the original Subcommittees keeping the review workload balance among Subcommittees. How- ever, some papers have been migrated to avoid competition among topics rather than their technical content qualities. This year technical program is also lined up with the sister conference, Design Automation Conference. We also create a new Subcommittee for Security to accommodate the new initiatives of the future Electronics Design Automation (EDA). We organize the Technical Program Committee with 104 world-leading experts from 14 countries/regions. This year ASP- DAC received 318 submissions from 27 countries/regions with major contribution from Asia, North America and Europe. All committee members contributed to in-depth and thorough reviews. The review process ensured fairness through a rigorous double-blind review process and resolved all the conflict of interest. This year face-to-face Technical Program Committee meeting was organized as a full two-day program together with the EDA Workshop. The venue of the Technical Program Committee meeting was Daejeon Convention Center in Daejeon, Korea. Among 104 Technical Program Committee members, 94 Technical Program Committee members physically attended, and some members joined via teleconferencing due to their personal emergency. Thanks to the support from the Daejeon Convention Center, this year Technical Program Committee also provided quality supplements for the meeting. This year paper selection was a real challenge thanks to the quality and highly competitive submissions. This year technical program consists of 106 high-quality papers among 318 submissions that corresponds to a very competitive acceptance rate of 33.3%. The complete conference program consists of the regular papers, invitation of keynote speeches and special sessions, which is compiled into a three-day, four parallel-session program. The regular papers are presented in 26 sessions on tracks A, B, and C. The University LSI Design Contest session is allocated on the first day following the tradition. The technical sessions begins with a keynote address every morning. We have nine special sessions on Tracks S and B (2S through 9S and 9B), which again consist of invited talks on the state-of-the-art topics and industry provided designers’ forums. The topics of invited talks are EDA and methodologies focusing on internet of things, nanometer physical design, applying machine learning in EDA, emerging memory technology, and system-level designs and tools for multicore systems. Each Subcommittee was eligible to nominate one best paper candidate. The Best Paper Award Committee screened the nominees and finally selected seven best paper candidate papers. These best paper candidates went through a careful evalua- tion process by the Best Paper Award Committee composed of 18 TPC members. The Best Paper Award Committee finally selected the ASP-DAC 2015 Best Paper Award winner. The fruitful technical program of the ASP-DAC 2015 was not possible without hard working of the authors and reviewers as well as the Technical Program Committee. We pay special thanks to the authors, reviewers, the Technical Program Committee members, and Technical Program Committee Secretaries for their excellent jobs. Finally, we also would like to thank the members of the Organizing Committee for their extraordinary services. We hope you join us congratulating the 20th Anniversary of the ASP-DAC, enjoy the ASP-DAC 2015 technical program and exchange your visions for the next decade ASP-DAC and EDA research.

Tutorial Outline: Electronics is more and more pervasive in everyday life: smartphones, connected cars, wearable, Internet of Things... After decades of steady gradual evolution, the semiconductor industry is now facing its biggest and most interesting challenge: while in the last few years the number of mobile devices has significantly grown year after year, the revolution of the Internet of Things promises an exponential growth of connected devices. Semiconductor technology is the key enabler of today applications, making possible the impossible by allowing device miniaturization and co-integration. Traditional planar CMOS technology is mature and low cost, but limited in power consumption efficiency and performances from the 28nm node. These 3 talks tutorial event will bring a highlight in planar thin film fully depleted CMOS technologies that enhance innovative solutions for very energy efficient systems. The first talk will focus on the UTBB FDSOI technology from STMicroelectronics, presenting the latest technology highlights and mapped on the system design needs for energy efficient logic and also analog/RF designs. The second talk, by CEA-Leti, will get in-deep of complex digital circuit design, focusing on a 32-bit VLIW DSP exhibiting outstanding silicon results in terms of speed and energy. All the design techniques enhancing exceptional energy efficient operation will be carefully detailed. And finally, the third talk from LEAP will also present ultra-low power system design in the SOTB FDSOI technology. Design techniques will be highlighted in the frame of an energy efficient micro-controller design. • Theme 1: Planar UTBB FD-SOI technology for highly energy efficient devices Giorgio Cesana (STMicroelectronics) • Theme 2: FDSOI circuit design for a better energy efficiency: Wide operating range and ULP applications Edith Beigne´ (CEA-Leti) • Theme 3: Ultra low-power system design based on SOTB FDSOI Technology Nobuyuki Sugii (LEAP)
22 Tutorial-2 Monday, January 19, 9:30 - 11:30, 13:00 - 15:00@Room 103 Leading-Edge Lithography and TCAD Organizer: Shigeki Nojima (Toshiba) Speakers: Seiji Nagahara (Tokyo Electron), Tomoyuki Matsuyama (Nikon), Shigyo Naoyuki (Toshiba)
Tutorial Outline: As feature size becomes below the resolution limit of lithography, several complementary techniques of lithography and process have emerged, such as multiple patterning technology and block co-polymer directed self-assembly (DSA). Since these techniques start with ArF immersion lithography, the exposure system is still one of the keys for the fine patterning. For example, overlay error of an exposure system directly causes CD variation on the multiple patterning and pattern shift from the ideal position on DSA. In addition, the shrink of the feature size causes serious statistical process fluctuation, which has influence on device and circuit performance. As virtual manufacturing, TCAD is one of useful tools for robust designs of process, device and circuit. This tutorial will provide the overview of cutting-edge technologies for ArF immersion exposure system, DSA and TCAD. The topics will cover recent development status, challenges and possible future directions. Furthermore, a design considering manufac- turability becomes much important when the new technologies are applied. In this tutorial, design for manufacturability, such as DSA friendly design, will also be discussed.
Tutorial-3 Monday, January 19, 9:30 - 11:30@Room 104, 15:30 - 17:30@Room 102 Normally-Off Computing: Synergy of New Non-Volatile Memories and Aggressive Power Management Organizers: Hiroshi Nakamura (The University of Tokyo), Takashi Nakada (The University of Tokyo) Speakers: Takashi Nakada (The University of Tokyo), Shinobu Fujita (Toshiba Corporate R&D Center)
Tutorial Outline: Normally-off computing is a way of computing where inactive components of computer systems are aggressively powered off with the help of new non-volatile memories (NVMs). Simple power gating cannot fully take the chances of power reduction since volatile memories lose data when power supply is off. With new NVMs, they can maintain their content without power supply. Thereore, a synergetic effect for power gating is highly expected. Hence, this tutorial presents basic design methodologies for normally-off computing, discusses major challenges and approaches in it and introduces key features related to power gating and new generation NVMs. Regarding power gating, granularity of power domain and performance/energy overheads are major concerns. For non- volatile memory, access time and read/write energy are important problems. Essentially, it is important to understand what kind of characteristics affect the performance and energy consumption. There are trade-offs, such as break even time (BET), not only within each technology but also cross-technologies. For example, when the scheduling of a task is changed, the optimal power management may also be different. Thus, to realize normally-off computing, hardware/software co-design and co-optimization are required. This is key for not only system designers, but also hardware engineers and software developers.

23 Tutorial-5 Monday, January 19, 13:00 - 15:00, 15:30 - 17:30@Room 104 High-Level Synthesis for FPGAs: From Software to Programmable Hardware Organizer: Jason Anderson (University of Toronto) Speakers: Jason Anderson (University of Toronto), Ben Carrion Schafer (Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
Tutorial Outline: High-level synthesis (HLS) was first proposed in the 1980s, and after spending decades in the shadows of mainstream digital de- sign, there has been tremendous ”buzz” around HLS technology in recent years. Indeed, HLS has been gaining traction as a design methodology for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to improve designer productivity and ultimately, to make FPGA technol- ogy accessible to software engineers possessing limited hardware expertise. The hope is that down the road, software developers could use HLS to realize FPGA-based accelerators customized to applications that work in tandem with standard processors to raise computational throughput and energy efficiency. Both of the main FPGA vendors have been investing heavily in HLS in recent years and in this tutorial, we provide a crash course on FPGA HLS, from both the academic research and industrial perspectives. We review the core steps taken by modern HLS tools and the underlying algorithms used inside. We then consider how the style of the high-level language code input to HLS influences the circuit produced and its performance. Special attention will be given to the differences in HLS for FPGAs, custom ASICs, and other IC media, such as coarse-grained arrays. We discuss the typical ”knobs” available to an HLS user to enable design-space exploration, for example, to control loop pipelining, resource sharing, and other optimizations. We conclude by discussing current HLS research and mention some of the remaining challenges for HLS that possibly hinder its broader update in the digital design community. The tutorial will be of interest to be EDA researchers, as well as current and future users of FPGA HLS.
Tutorial-6 Monday, January 19, 13:00 - 15:00, 15:30 - 17:30@Room 105 Electronic Design Automation for Nanotechnologies Organizers: Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon (EPFL), Giovanni De Micheli (EPFL) Speakers: Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon (EPFL), Luca Amaru (EPFL), Anupam Chattopadhay (Nanyang Technical University), Subhasish Mitra (Stanford University)
Tutorial Outline: Nanoscale emerging technologies hold the promises of drastic improvements of the key design metrics, i.e., area, delay and power consumption, of near-future computing systems. In addition to a pure improvement of the device parameters, many novel technologies exploit unconventional physical phenomena leading to larger computation capabilities at the device level. Such fundamental paradigm change precludes standard CMOS design techniques to fully leverage the performances of advanced devices. In addition to unlocking the logic capabilities of the devices from a logic synthesis perspective, the design methodologies should also consider carefully the manufacturing of the technology, i.e., the physical design, to maximize the fabrication yield. In this tutorial, we will introduce the importance for tight links between design methodologies and technology to fully exploit emerging devices. The tutorial will cover 3 principal themes: logic optimization and underlying data structures, technology mapping and physical design. To get a direct sense on the importance of design automation for nanotechnologies, each theme will be asso- ciated and discussed through a specific technology: controllable-polarity nanowire transistors, quantum gates and carbon nanotubes transistors respectively. • Theme 1: Logic Optimization - Majority and Biconditional Logic: Dr. Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon, Mr. Luca Amaru, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland • Theme 2: Technology Mapping - Reversible Logic Synthesis: Pr. Anupam Chattopadhay, Nanyang Technical University, Singapore • Theme 3: Physical Design - Robust System Design at the Nanoscale: Pr. Subhasish Mitra, Stanford University, USA
